FAQs for Long Bredy
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Long Bredy?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Long Bredy. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Long Bredy, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Long Bredy use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Long Bredy
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we are called out for in Long Bredy
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
